TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 25, 2007, Agere Systems issued a news release announcing its financial results for
the quarter ended December 31, 2006. A copy of that news release is attached to this report as
Exhibit 99.1.
The news release contains information about our net income and earnings per share, excluding
gain or loss from the sale of, and income or loss from, discontinued operations; restructuring
related charges included in costs; certain other non cash charges including equity compensation;
net restructuring and other charges; purchased in-process research and development charges;
amortization of acquired intangible assets; net gain or loss from the sale of operating assets;
certain tax adjustments; cumulative effect of accounting changes and certain nonrecurring charges.
We believe that information presented on this basis, while not a substitute for financial
information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, will allow
investors to more easily compare our financial performance on an operating basis in different
fiscal periods. Information computed on this basis is one of the measures management and the board
of directors use to evaluate the performance of our business.
